How Sand Requirement Is Calculated
This calculator determines the volume of sand needed by multiplying the area's length, width, and depth, then converts that volume into weight using standard sand density — useful for leveling, bedding, or mixing with cement.
Formula Used
Volume (m³) = Length × Width × Depth
Weight (kg) = Volume × 1600 (average sand density)
Frequently Asked Questions
What depth should I use for paver base?+
A typical sand bedding layer for pavers is 2-5cm (0.02-0.05m) depending on the paver type and ground conditions.
Does sand density vary?+
Yes, sand density varies by type and moisture content, typically ranging from 1,400-1,700 kg/m³. This calculator uses an average of 1,600 kg/m³.
